About Me

I love to travel, even if my stomach doesn’t always agree with me.

Travel has shaped a lot of who I am , it’s pushed me to try new things, meet people I wouldn’t have otherwise, and see the world from different angles.

I like sharing my city with others and finding new corners of it too. Hidden spots, local favorites, whatever, I’m always up for exploring. I’d describe myself as curious, easygoing, and someone who just enjoys good company and real conversations

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I enjoy connecting with people, sharing stories, and discovering places together. For me, traveling isn’t just about the sights, it’s about the people you meet and the small moments you share. That’s usually what makes a trip unforgettable.

I also think it’s amazing to make friends I wouldn’t meet otherwise , it makes the world feel smaller than it seems.

Interests

I love discovering great films, whether by recommendation (which I think is the best way) or just by chance. There’s something special about coming across a film that truly resonates—one that stays with you long after it ends.
